    Does this sort of thing happen where you live?

    • Looks like they arrested these idiots. https://www.bbc.com/…Chimp
    • Yes, because i live in Birmingham. BUT if you take that as a measure of the city or the country you're a moron. Besides, modern day Peaky Blinders innit.Morning_star
    • I'm saying it more like, does this happen in Zadar, in Braga, in Plovdiv, in Kotor, in Gijón etc? I never see videos/news of such nonsense out of these places.shapesalad
    • used to be armed robberies of jewellers near weekly when I worked in the Jewellery Quarter many years ago. Oh and fabulous curry houses down that road.fadein11
    • Or is it just UK that has a large amount of mindless violence and criminal activity - of this level - in its cites and towns?shapesalad
    • @shape, The cities/town you mention are low population less than 250k. Birmingham has a pop. of 1.2million, London 9million, Manchester 500K, You don't seem...Morning_star
    • ...to be comparing like with like.Morning_star
    • Leeds population 792,525 (219) so when you say 'large amounts' of mindless violence, I can't understand as I see literally none, except maybe a drunken fight.Ianbolton
    • I've seen a robbery back home in Scunthorpe when i was younger, but it's never been an everyday experience - unless i watched the news 24hrs a dayIanbolton
    • Yeah, ok population size sure.. but even small population Hull is a mess https://www.hulldail…shapesalad
    • People you'd not want to meet in a dark alley https://www.hulldail…shapesalad
    • ^ it's updated weekly... the number of braindead criminals is staggering, state of uk is terrifying if you get your head out of the tik tok fantasy.shapesalad
    • How much did they manage to get in that daring raid? £300 in shite gold stuff? What? What? What? What? What? What?PhanLo
    • @phan, asian jewellery can be insanely expensive. And often sold in crappy looking shops like that. There are shit loads of them just down that road.fadein11
    • @Fadein11 can confirm. Insanely expensive stuff.
      @shape. I don’t understand what makes you so fearful. Do you really believe the UK’s so dangerous?

    • the opening scene to Fish called Wanda?hotroddy
    • Last place I was in before lockdown was an Islamic Arts Centre in Brum. I remember Bobo always going on about no-go areas like a dafty. Folk were sound.PhanLo
    • @Fade I imagine, to take that risk, there must have been some value, but it looked like such an unassuming shop.PhanLo
